Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Ayr and Wolverhampton.
Ayr
3:10 – Doyen Breed – 3/1 @ Bet365 – The selection came in for good market support (11/4 favourite), on his first since joining Sandy Thomson. The 5-year-old ran well to finish 2nd of 11 on his handicap hurdle debut. Nicely clear of the third at the finish. Nudged up 4lb for that effort but showed enough to think he’s on a winnable mark.
Wolverhampton
4:50 – Muftakker – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Got his head in front for the first time at 11th attempt when winning here over 1m 4f last week. Strong at the finish that day. He stayed 1m 6f on turf so the step up in distance shouldn’t be an issue. He’s returned from 497-day break in great form and can defy a 5lb penalty.
5:50 – Harlow – 100/30 @ Ladbrokes & Bet365 – There was plenty to like about the selections win here 9-days ago. He didn’t get the best of runs when trying to make his effort at the furlong mark but once in the clear he stayed on for a cosy success. Up a furlong in trip here but was strong at the finish last time. The handicapper has raised him 3lb but if the second time cheekpieces continue to have the same effect, he can win again.
Cheers
John
